A mixed bag ~ slash writing, Equus and Titanic

[clawofcat]

The struggle with fic continues on for another week, much to my displeasure. You'd think oscillating between four different fics, each with different characters and/or pairings, would increase the probability that you'll move on one or the other, but no. All dead in the water. I have also discovered something about writing slash. Pronoun confusion

Re: Pronouns- I usually take care to use one name and one gender pronoun, so that no one gets confused (i.e., He watched in anticipation as Xander writhed, naked and glistening, on the stage.) That way, we know who "he" is (Spike, natch) and don't have to get all confused and think I might be referring to Xander watching himself writhe naked and glistening (though I won't turn that down either because I effing love Xandercest).

Re:DR's Dick-BUT HOW BIG IS IT?? Come on, inquiring and perverted minds want to know.

Because I love you? The word you're looking for here: I balled my eyes out that first time... is bawl.

Now, I need someone to explain that sex scene to me in Brokeback Mountain. I just watched it for the first time ever tonight and it's terrible! How the heck does "we're kinda drunk and it's cold so let's snuggle" turn into hot gay sex with NO LUBE?? I demand answers.

*grope*

Re: pronouns. That makes sense, but I want to tell the story from both Spike and Angel's POVs, which complicates it. I can't stick to one or the other. Btw, this was supposed to be a piece of the S/A/F threesome fic. I'm trying! Also, wtf is Xandercest? He does himself somehow?

Re:DR's Dick-BUT HOW BIG IS IT??
LOL. Sorry to disappoint, but i'd say rather small. Of course, I was looking at it from the mezzanine and the stage was fairly dimly lit. But, yes, from what I gather - small. I've not seen enough dicks in my time to really get a good sense of correlation between flaccid and erect though. Could be a grower?

Re: This weekend: I am totes bummed but I understand.
I know! I'm sorry. I was chatting with a friend yesterday. She's from Rochester and she's going to drive up in the next two weeks to get some of her stuff from her mom's house because she's moving into her new apartment in the city on Oct. 1. I might be able to bum a ride either going or returning with her. There seems to be options.

Because I love you? The word you

Yayz for S/A/F threesome hotness. And I think it could work with switching POVs. Just as long as you make it clear whose POV you're in via names..and honestly, the characterization itself should take care of a lot of this too.

Xandercest is indeed Xander doing himself. Or rather, his Toth twin. Remember when he got separated by the magic stick of...uhm...separating? Yeah. Xandercest!

Agreed on the BBM lube thing but still. It's very disturbing when you think about the mechanics. Which I suppose most people don't. But I did and I got irritated.

LOLing at Lauren!cest. THAT should be a video. Although maybe not as hot if you focus on skullfucking. Probably only a limited audience with that fetish. :P

I saw Quills one time shortly after its release on DVD and it still haunts me! (Little Children didn't do it for me.)

Quills makes me drool like a filthy harlot. It's so dirty. There's something very appealing about Rush as de Sade. Also, Phoenix as the abbey? Woo hoo! You strut in those robes, man of the cloth.
